Things to do for February 02, 2012

The Weekender

Gallons of Chili, Dozens of Wings, One Big Game

Thursday

Your Valentine’s Day toolbox is now well stocked with supplies from the love experts at
Jimmyjane. We’re also making sure you have at least twice the usual amount of lingerie on hand for the occasion and a two-hour
private Polaroid
session where someone can... display it.

Your Gallon of Chili Awaits

We don’t mean to panic you, but you only have until 7pm tonight to order chili by the gallon from Butcher
& the Burger. Okay, we see you’re panicking. Deep breath. Focus. But whatever you do, don’t forget
to order some blue-cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped meatball skewers, too.

Friday

AIR FAIR

And Somewhere Above Wisconsin...

Perhaps someone’s going to feel neglected on Sunday. So a pregame day trip’s in order. Drive north, and
stop when the sky becomes littered with hot-air balloons and the streets are filled with chili cook-offs,
ice sculptures and kazoo marching bands. Maybe the Re/Max guy can give you a lift home.

Sunday

Pork and the Super Bowl. They have a pretty well-established relationship. You respect that. But sometimes
you want to stray. So in addition to a pig roast, Sunda’s entire menu is half off. Then again, there’s
chocolate-covered bacon for dessert. You always come back to bacon.

The Super Bowl Steak-Out

Loud, sweaty sports bars are absolutely the best places to be on Super Sunday. Obviously. But a very, very
close second: opulent steakhouses. Sit at the bar, drink martinis and nosh complimentary flatbreads, mini
tacos, beef tenderloin sliders and chicken satays and watch the game. Gronkowski jersey not required.
